After kicking and screaming for a minute or so, Cassie slowly slipped out of consciousness.
"JJ it's not your fault, it just one of her bad days. Sit down and have a beer."
JJ was sat pouting in the corner.
"You kissed her."
"I revived her-"
"She wasn't dead she was just winded."
Pope and Kie both groaned.
"Look shut up and sit down, we all need to be ready incase she has a seizure like last time."
They all mumbled in agreement and watched as she stirred.
"Mum?"
"Cass, hey, you had one of those, uh, things," JJ passed her some water and she looked dazed for a moment before remembering the fight and pushing past him. The girl grabbed a beer and downed it.
"Did you find anything?"
She grabbed another.
"Huh?"
"John B did you find anything on the boat?"
"Oh uh yeah keys to a motel."
"Okay let's go."
Kie looked concerned.
"Maybe we should report it to the coastguard."
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
After their plan to go to the coastguard failed, they mutually agreed to go to the motel.
JJ whistled to try and break the awkward silence, "I thought the chateau looked bad."
"This place is a shit show."
"Motel or meth lab?"
The boy awkwardly laughed and watched Cassie sit staring off into space in complete silence.
"You be the judge."
They spoke some more about the state of the place when they hit land.
"Who's coming?"
Cassie stood up and jumped off. John B paused for a moment before pointing at a glum looking JJ, "you're coming too."
"Hey."
John B paused to look at Kie.
"Don't let him do anything stupid."
JJ looked sadly at Cassie, "Oh I will."
"Yeah, I'm not making any promises."
"Yeah I know."
The two stood awkwardly close, taking brief glances at the boy trying to get Cassie to talk to him.
"Uh, be careful. I mean it."
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
"Why are all these mattresses out?"
The question was aimed at the girl, but John B answered.
"After a hurricane, they ditch them cause they're moldy."
"Just be so careful John."
Cassie groaned, "god, you're so weird. Can't you stop butting into everyone's love life?"
"Okay that's it, I'm sick of this- make up now."
The girl rolled her eyes at the boy, but JJ took the opportunity eagerly.
"I like you and you don't believe me, so I kissed you to prove it to you but you didn't wanna kiss me back-"
Cassie had had enough of him doing whatever he was doing, so she grabbed him by the shirt and slammed him against the wall, before kissing him roughly.
"Oh shit."
As soon as the shock had passed, JJ happily kissed her back, causing the girl to be satisfied and pull away.
She had tears in her eyes.
"There, whatever bet you have on, you win. You can leave me alone now."
"Cass-"
"Or was it sex? Is it a bet to take my virginity? God, you're so sick, I bet it is."
"Okay, enough, this was a bad idea, go back to the boat Cass, okay?"
"No, if anyone goes back and misses out, it's sicko in the corner."
JJ did not seem to be a fan of his new nickname.
He knocked on the door next to him and in a high pitched voice, he called out 'housekeeping'.
They walked inside and Cassie sat on the bed, zoned out.
As she faded out of it, she noticed JJ was pointing a gun at her. Well not at her, but in her direction.
She stared at the end of it, not breathing.
"What the fuck JJ?"
"I didn't mean to, sorry."
John B started moving swiftly about the room.
"Guys cops, out the window quick."
JJ went first, then Cassie helped out by John B with JJ receiving, and finally the brunette going on the other side.
"Fuck, JJ I'm gonna fall, I'm gonna fall."
"Hey, hey. Look at me, I got you okay?"
He gently pressed her to the wall and then pressed himself so he was on top of her.
He could feel her breathing down his neck, and she was wriggling under his touch.
"JJ, um, it's sticking in my leg."
The boy knew. Cassie tried to move so she was more comfortable, causing JJ to drop the gun and let out a low grunt.
"Oh my god, fuck."
He rested his head on her shoulder, and pressed her against the wall so there was no space between them, and both held their breath as a cop came to the window.
"Fuck, JJ, I'm scared. Don't let me fall, don't let me-"
"I've got you, okay? Just a little longer."
Cassie felt all her anger melt away.
She wrapped her arms around him, and placed her head on his chest.
Pope and Kie signalled you them that they were in the clear.
"Okay I'll go first, then Cass, then you JJ, okay?"
The boy nodded, and the girl moved her head slightly with her eyes squeezed shut.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
They were all sat at the harbour with a girl Cassie didn't recognise watching all the commotion.
The five were muttering you each other, but Cassie stayed silent, staring at the body bag.
"Check out this pic I got, dead bodayyyyy."
The girl showed Cassie the photo, who suddenly went very pale.
"I'm, uh, I'm gonna head back to the chateau."
As soon as she got round the corner, she started to throw up into a bin.
"Cass? Oh my god, okay, let's get it all out."
Pope held back her hair, and rubbed her back.
"There we go."
She wiped her mouth and stood up, "that's embarrassing."
"I'm pretty sure it's normal to do that when you see a dead body."
"I'm gonna go get some sleep."
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
When Cassie woke up, Kie filled her in.
"Okay, get changed."
"For what?"
"Kegger."

The next chapter will literally be put so soon cause I have nothing better to do 😉
